Members Of the Heath Department said yesterday
tina the new law relating to the registration Of ply
,icans In tho State would not affect regular phys
clans now practising in this city.
For many years the Board Of Health has refused to
recognize any physicians except those who hold d
ponas from the regular medical schools and who
registered In the County Clerks office. Death certificates
signed by all other physicians are rejected at the Blu
reau of Vital statistics Deputy Registrar Magic said
that the principal effect of the new law would be to
give the County Medical Society more power In pre-
venting "quacks" fIom practising In the city.
Heretofore proceedings against quack doctors have
failed because the law did not provide ample punish
ment for the offenders but the law makes the Of
fence msdemeanor and offenders may be punished by
heavy fines.

NANIAMO, i. c., May 7.-Forty-six
bodies have so far been recovered from
the Vancouvre mine, and the members of
the exploring party state that not one OF
the imprisoned men will he rescued alive.
The party went down the main engine
plane nearly rs far rs the north level,
where there was supposed to be - white
men at work, and found the mine thinkers
knocked out and the wall caveG in.
They crawled through, hut found that
the atterdamp was so dense that the lamps
would not burn, and breathing was diff
cult. They made their way into an air
course, and there they found the bodies OF
23 white men and 81 Chinese. These were
brought TO the surface and another party
penetrated nearly into the stall and found
two white bodies. The atterdamp over
came two of the rescuing party and they
all returned.
An effort was also made to reach the
men in No. and two bodies were found,
but the same OverpOwering atterdamp was
met with, and the resCuers were compelled
to abandon the search. Only few of the
bodies were bruised or disfgured. The
rest looked as if they had gone gently to
sleep. The work of exploration will be

A WOMAN'S CONSTANCY.
A Life Convict's Sweetheart Secures III
Release After Eighteen Years.

A Life Convict's Sweetheart Secures His
Release After Eighteen Years.
NASHVILLE, TENN, May 7.-Eighteen
years ago the doors OF the State prison
closed upon Frank Riddle, of Maury coun-
ty, who had been sentenced to life i'm
prisOnment for numbering German ped
dler.
There were doubts as to the guilt of Rid
die, who refused to acknowledge the crime
and accept term of fifteen years, insist
ing upon a plea of not guilty.
The trial resulted in his conviction, and
the defendant appealed to the Supreme
Court, which granted new hearing. A
second verdict against Riddle was rendered
and he was sent TO the penitentiary.
Year after year passed. One after an
other of the life convicts died, and Riddle
almost abandoned hope Of obtaining his
freedom.
While Governor Taylor was seated in his
office, yesterday, IA woman walked into the
apartment and presented to the Governor
"A petition for executive clemenCy signed by
the leSSpeS and every officer of the prison,
who stated that Riddles long incarcera-
ton had served the ends of justice. Ac-
cOmpanying the petition was letter writ
ten by the woman who bore 1t.
After the Governor had read the dOCu-
ments the lady rose, and addressing him,
said:
Governor Taylor, when that man was
accused of murder, | was engaged 10 be
married to him. | did not believe him
| guilty, and did not break the engagement.
During the two or three years that the
trial was pending | still believed in him.
During the eighteen years of his contine-
ment have stuck to him. His parents
| have died. His brothers and sisters are all
dead except u sister, who lives ont West.
| The people who were interested in the
case then have forgotten him. am the
only friend he has in the world. My life
has been wrapped up in him. believe
in him and have loved him through all
| these long weary years and | want you to
/ pardOu him. | do not want you think
him an innocent man, h4t for the sake OF
two lives that may yet be happy, ! implore
you to set him free"
Without waiting TO hear the Governors
decision she arose and left the office, and
| the Capitol. When the Governor had
cleared his eyes Of tears he said to Bishop
| Cranberry:
Such devotion and c0nstancy | have
never seen and whatever Riddle may have
deserved, it doas look as if that woman
ought to have a chance at happiness. The
prisoner will be pardOned.' y

parade; a genuine prairie scLo0IaT, -"
loaded with emigrants and taeiE Psraph-
ernalia, and drawn by mules, will form
a most realistic representation OF frontier
life, and the veritable old DeadwoO coach
- the identical one that was repeatedly at

the Black Hills to Denver, will be in the
parade, drawn by six horses and driven by
an old time driver Of The Overland Mail

tive of any now before the public, and
when it is remembered that it exhibited
for nineteen consecutive weeks in the me
tropolls, aud that all itS great features will

REGULATING THE RAILROADS.
A Fine Imposed In Police Court, Yesterds,
Afternoon.

At the Police Court matinee yesterday
afternoon, Frank Spencer, a Pewiky con
ductor, was arraigned, charged with run.
ming a train across the wharf without
having flagman in front of it, as is
required by the ordinance of 1872.
The prisoner said he had been running
trains OH the road for four years, but had
never heard of the ordinance until he was
arrested.
The ordinance, rs amended in April,
1883, was read by His Honor, who pointed
out that not only WAS a flagman required
TO 20 on foot in advance of every train or
engine, hut the speed of trains was also
limited 10 six miles per hour, and 1t was
unlawful for trains to stand upon the
track outside of depots. The penalty was
fine of not less than $40 nor more than
$50, and the engineer and conductor OF
trains were made liable.
The prisoner admitted the correctness OF
the charge but said he had been in com,
plete Ignorance of the law.
His Honor said he had drawn up the
ordinance personally, and it had been ac-
cepted by the Railroad Company. He took
into consideration the ignorance of the de-
tendant, As regards the existence of the
law, and made the fine SO and cost.
Mr.. Bellville, who was present, said the
ordinance was in the usual form, adopted
by other cities, but in some cases, in ma
king engineers and conductors both respon-
sible, it worked hardship rs, for instance,
when an engineer was fined for not cutting
train, something that he had no power Ia
do.
His Honor said the employe was often
placed in bad position. Knowing the
existence of an ordinance limiting the
speed of trains, the company required lis
employees to move trains a certain dis.
tance in certain time. II they did not
do this they were apt 10 he discharged,
and if they did do it they were liable To a
fine for exceeding lawful speed. They
way or the other.
The police have four or five warrants
out for Ohio River train hands on the
same charge, and they will be served as
soon as possible.
The only other prisoner before His Honor
yesterday was Stephen Quinn. twas the
same old thing.
"Well, what do you think you ought
to get Stephen ?" said the Court.
"Oh, | don't know" said the prisoner

| She Claims to Have Inside Information
Regarding the Natrona Strike.
PGTTsBURG, May "A woman claims tC
have ferreted out the mystery surrounding
the strike at NatrOna.
She tells a story of the situation of al,
fairs at the works OF the Pennsylvania Salt
Manufacturing Company, which are shut
off from all communication with the out
side world by n high fence, while guards
patrol the premises.
A female member of the Bellaire, O., Lo,
cal Assembly No. 54O3, X. OF L., has been
at Natroua for some time. She has made
a special study of the strike ut the Soda
Works. This morning she was in the city
and made report of her Investigations tC
District Master Workman George Dovey,
of ID. 4. g.
When seen by the writer this morning
he said: "Whcn left NatrOna everything
was quiet. The strikers are very orderly
disposed and have not caused the slightest
disturbance since the strike was inaugura
ted. While at NatrOna | discovered Tn,

| talked to one of the men who worked there
He said that if the warm weather cOntin.
ued even the attempt 10 keep up the show.
ing of work would have to be abandoned.
Even now the men are lying around
the premises sick, and in many instances
are unable to work. 4 number OF
the men are arranging To leave, rs
they are virtually held as prisoners. When
they We're taken to the work they had Ia
make an agreement to work for four weeks
to pay their car fare before they could eX-
pect to draw any money from the finn. II
ut the end Of that time they had not earned
enough to redeem their car fare then they
were compelled to work longer.
"Their condition is pitiable. These
men are unskilled, and not being used Ia
that kind of work their hands and feet are
'nrrcd by the soda. Their work now
actiCally amounts To no more tban keep
ing up the fines for offenders. There are
not more than forty or fifty or these men
at the works. A German who seems Ia
rule them tells them that if they do get
outside that they will he killed.
80 anxious have been these men 10 get
away that a serious difficulty occurred on
last Wednesday. One Of the nOn-uniOn
who was kept in the works got into n dis
pute. He Hred three shots from revolver
at Superintendent Hill, who rushed ont TO
secure more police protection. At present
there is hut one policeman outside, while
there are eight guards on the inside to
keep the men from running away.
Ten men are watching their chance 10
get away. They went to the firms store
and bought enough tobacco, clothes and
shoes to make up for the wages due them,
which they could not get in cash. They
now propose to leave at the FIST opportu-
nifty. There has not been new man en-.
